Bolton Oil Change & Fuel Centers Privacy Policy

Effective and Last Updated 12-01-2016

This website is owned and operated by Bolton Oil Co. Ltd. We are committed to protecting the privacy of our visitors while they interact with the content and services on this site (the "Site"). As a company comprised of dedicated professionals, we understand, as people, the important issues regarding online privacy, protection of personal information, and striving for the most secure networks and electronic communication systems possible.

This Privacy Policy applies to the Site only. It does not apply to any other Websites to which we may link, if any. Because we gather certain types of information about our users, we want you to understand what information we collect about you, how we collect it, how that information is used, and how you can control our disclosure of it. You agree that your use of the Site signifies your assent to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with this Privacy Policy, please do not use the Site.

1) Information Collected

We collect two types of information from you: i) information that you voluntarily provide to us (e.g. through a voluntary registration process, sign-ups or emails); and ii) information that is derived through automated tracking mechanisms.

Voluntary Registration Information

In order to fully access any customer account systems, blogs or forums (if our site hosts them at any given time), you must first complete the registration process, during which we will collect personal information about you. The information may include your name, address, and email address, or other identifying information. We do not collect personally identifiable information about you except when you specifically provide such information to us on a voluntary basis.
By registering with us, you consent to the use and method of disclosure as described in this Privacy Policy.

Voluntary Information for Services and Features

When you choose to use these additional features, we require you to provide your "Contact Information" in addition to other personal information that may be required to complete a transaction such as your phone number, billing and shipping addresses and credit card information. Occasionally, we may also request information such as your account preferences and demographics which will help us better serve you and our other users in the future.

Cookies

A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's computer tied to information about the user. Bolton Oil Co. Ltd. may use cookies to store visitor's preferences and to record session information. We do not and will not use cookies to collect private information from any user that such user did not intentionally submit to us.

Most browsers allow you to control cookies, including whether or not to accept them and how to remove them. If a user's system is idle for a defined time, the cookie will expire, forcing the user to sign in again to continue their session. This prevents unauthorized access to the user's information while they are away from their computer.

You may set most browsers to notify you if you receive a cookie, or you may choose to block cookies with your browser, but please note that if you choose to erase or block your cookies, you will need to re-enter your original user ID and password to gain access to certain parts of the Site that are controlled or accessible only by proper log-in procedures (such as when making an online order, checking design status or other similar activities, if and when such systems are offered, if ever).

2) Site Referrals

Ltd. has not, does not and will not sell these email addresses or use them to send any other communication besides invitations, invitation reminders or other prudent bulletins (including newsletters).
